Re: On Norcolut, milk supply dwindling?

According to Medications and Mother's Milk 2008 - by Thomas Hale PhD,there HAS been reported decrease in milk supply with this medication. 10 of 13 women saw an increase in production after stopping this medication, Hale also advises that women should be counseled about decrease in production when starting this medication.
He lists these as recent reports, and this book just came out, so it's possible that your Dr is looking at an older source. Definitely talk to your doctor about it, Dr Hale also has forums where medical professional can post and do research. You could send your Dr there if she has questions. http://neonatal.ttuhsc.edu/lact/
